Former Minister's Son: An Olympic Swimmer and Entrepreneur

Nikola Miljenić, son of former Croatian Justice Minister Orsat Miljenić, is making waves not only in the pool but also in other fields. The young athlete, who represented Croatia in the 100-meter freestyle at the Paris Olympics two years ago, is gaining recognition for his achievements and striking looks.

Miljenić set a new Croatian record in the 100m freestyle to qualify for the Olympics. His success extends to the European Championships, where he won a bronze medal in the 4x50m freestyle relay last December. Beyond his athletic prowess, Miljenić is also a law student and is exploring entrepreneurial ventures.

He recently announced the launch of his personal brand, 'Nikola Miljenić Academy,' aiming to merge his sports career with business. "I am starting a new project, which is the creation of a personal brand Nikola Miljenić Academy. My idea is to expand my sports career through entrepreneurship, because what is sport today without business?" he told Story magazine.

Often described as one of Croatia's most attractive men, Miljenić remains humble about his appearance, stating he doesn't see himself that way and rarely hears it outside the media. His brother, Lovro, is a model, and Nikola hasn't ruled out trying modeling himself, finding the idea potentially interesting.

While he acknowledges his father's public profile, Nikola hopes to be increasingly recognized for his own accomplishments. "It doesn't bother me, but in a way, I would like them to start introducing me by my name because it couldn't help me in swimming. It's me against seconds, so everything I've achieved, I've achieved for myself. I know it can't be avoided," he concluded.
